If you are travelling within India, you can go to any network hospital for hospitalization.

As above mentioned both have their utilities because if you travel abroad and unfortunately you get into an accident and you got hurt your health insurance will not cover that so it is wise to get both insurance as they will safe guard your heath whether you are travelling or not.

Travel insurance provides coverage for your abroad miss-happening like medical treatment, ticket lost, luggage lost, flight terminated/cancelled/missed, any natural disaster and more. Your health insurance policy works only for domestic travel like you travel in India. If you're looking to claim abroad expenses with insurance policy, health insurance policy isn't going to beard this. You will have to buy international/overseas travel insurance.

You need to buy a travel insurance policy which will provide complete security throughout the journey. It covers from interruptions like baggage delay, loss of baggage, flight delays, medical expenses and loss of travel documents, under one convenient package, at an affordable price. Even I travel a lot and I have a good experience from Royal Sundaram travel insurance policy since 2 years and have benefited from the same. :)

Both the insurance are differently made for providing services accordingly, if you are talking about health insurance then it cover all things regarding your health, medication, test, medicine or any requirement related to your health/body.

Other is Travel as it shows from its name it is helpful while traveling for any business or outing purpose, it cover your life, health and luggage.

Both are different. in simple term, Travel insurance is mainly for travelling purposes. Health insurance is for health related.

If you are travelling outside India, then it is advised that you go for Travel Insurance as in case you meet with any kind of mishap outside your country, then having a travel insurance will help you sail through the emergency.

If you are travelling withing India your normal health policy would cover your medical expenses, however while you are travelling abroad you need to have a travel insurance policy to cover your medical need's.
